a balanced view from one of the most foremost authorities on the book of Romans. His books, although, reflecting another time, are still loved, cherished and valued by student and scholar alike. His work is both readable and technical. One will not go wrong investing in this book.
When a spiritual history of the 20th century comes to be written it will be bound to include mention not only the far-reaching influence of Dr. Lloyd-Jones' ministry at Westminster Chapel in London, England from 1938-68, but of the remarkable fact that his published volumes of expository sermons have had an unprecedented circulation for such material, selling in millions of copies.
In Romans chapter 6 the Apostle Paul takes up the issue of antinomianism - a dangerous perversion of the gospel's teaching that has often troubled the church. The antinomian says, 'Ah, this gospel is a wonderful message of salvation by the free grace of God. Therefore, it doesn't matter at all how you live as a believer; you are saved once and forever.' The Apostle shows us why some people have…
Dr. Lloyd-Jones saw Romans 5 as a central chapter in the entire letter. Here is Paul's exposition of the blessings of justification by faith; but here too, the cosmic roots of our salvation are traced back to Christ.
Diagnosis was a life-long interest of D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Nowhere is this more evident than in his treatment of Romans chapter two. Here he unfolds Paul's analysis of the spiritual sickness of the human heart, its deceitfulness and rebellion against God, and its sinister use of religion as a defence-mechanism against true conviction of sin.
In this volume the preacher moves step by step through the massive reasoning of the Apostle Paul on atonement and justification, yet the detail of the exposition does not stand in the way of a clear view of the whole, and the reader is constantly shown how every section fits in the theme of God's complete plan of salvation.
These sermons were preached on consecutive Sunday mornings at Westminster Chapel and are here reproduced virtually as they were delivered. The need for them arose as the result of pastoral experience, and they are now published in book form largely as the result of repeated requests that they might be issued in this form.
Outline: Robert Traill's treatment of Christ's intercessory prayer for His people is a masterpiece of Puritan experiential doctrine. Mining the depths of John 17: 24, Traill discovers the comforts of the doctrine of election, the blessing of our hope of heaven, and the believer's delight in the glory of Christ - all founded on the immovable love of the Father of His Son. Traill's exposition is …

Here for the first time is Bonhoeffer's final great work, along with sermons and meditations on other selections from the Psalms. MEDITATING ON THE WORD displays…
Outline: Suara apakah yang keluar dari mulut Yesus di atas kayu salib? Bukan caci maki, balas dendam, kutukan, tangisan atau pun jeritan kesakitan yang menyayat. Sejarah mencatat Tujuh Perkataan Salib yang keluar dari mulut Juruselamat adalah:
Bapa, ampunilah mereka
Engkau bersama Aku di Firdaus

Outline: Nearing the end of his life and ministry, William Greenhill left his congregation a parting gift and lasting testimony of his pastoral care for their souls - he published The Sound-Hearted Christian. This book developed from a series of sermons Greenhill preached on Psalm 119: 18, "Let my heart be sounded in thy statues; that I be not ashamed." Greenhill shows that a sound heart is wat…
Outline: John Calvin was a transformative force from modern history, delivering thousands of sermons in Geneva's St. Pierre's Cathedral, where he pastored from 1536 until his death in 1564. What better way to celebrate the 500th anniversary of his birth than for many of today's preeminet Reformed pastors to preach in Calvin's home church? The sermons in this book show how Calvin's theology i…
Overview: Calvin's Ephesian Sermons, preached on Sundays at Geneva in 1558 - 59, when he was 49 years of age, were first printed in French in 1562, then in English in 1577. They have long been one of the rarest of all the Reformer's works and merited the comment of C. H. Spurgeon, a century ago, 'Not the same as the exposition. The sermons are priceless.' The fact that this is the first publica…
Martyn Lloyd-Jones biblically informed insight gave a certain prophetic quality to his ministry; not in the sense that he foretold the future, but rather in his God-given ability to put his finger on the essential issues, and to apply the burden of God’s Word. Knowing the Times brings together a number of addresses which exhibit this vibrant prophetic character. Those who heard Dr. Lloyd-Jone…
This enduring collection of twenty-one sermons by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, each originally delivered at Westminster Chapel in London, carefully and compassionately analyzes an undeniable feature of modern society from which Christians have not escaped -- spiritual depression. "Christian people," writes Lloyd-Jones, "too often seem to be perpetually in the doldrums and too often give this appearan…
